Hey, we’ve got a new ’suggest a link’ button, see bottom left - seen something you think we should blog? post it to that link, and if we like it we’ll have it.
We’ve also got a RSS feed on the comments, as requested by Lawrens and still the main RSS blog feed post. Kyle just explained RSS over on his blog - Everyone is happy (We should get around to blogging the manipulation videos on Kyles site oneday….)

Jago recently launched a new site for Jago Juggling Arts, a repackaging of the old Full Moon Performers site (which I was involved with during its creation in 2004-2006.

Included in the new site is a New Jago video, with the footage sourced (by permission) from the In Isolation DVD.

This promo image was shot in the Hangar. Pictured are Jago Parfitt and Stuart Pemberton

YouTube - Ines Brunn on an Artistic Bicycle
Ines Brunn totally wowed us in the main show at EJC Rotterdam 2001.
A handstand on the handlebars, that is clearly impossible. Skip to 40 seconds if you want to see the skills.

Get the Shoe - Trailer [Juggling, TakeOuts]
“Kill Bill meets Bruce Lee in the Matrix” with juggling.
The promo is very good, but to see this on stage in real life Florian and Jochen are even better.
Definately one of the Ministry’s favourite Juggling acts, they closed the BJC2007 show with a standing ovation.
www.gettheshoe.com is a wicked website, I like the streetfighter scene and the animation with the fish and the octopus.

Girl juggling with her feet
This clip is too short! We think it’s Antonina Zadonskaya from Cirque de Soleil Corteo, but we’re not certain.
Anybody got more details, or the rest of it? It looks like the beginning of an amazing routine.

Daydream visited the Ministry of Manipulation last year, and recently cut together this short documentary of the experience at Play Festival 2006.

There are some sales going on in America at the moment where you could scoop some real bargains on acrylic balls.
And with the dollar being so devalued at the moment (lowest price for 26 years!), you might want to consider it for purchases shipped to other countries too.

So here we line up the bargains of the week:
Neon husky have a pre-burning man sale, 10% off everything!
Neon husky are now giving grades to all the acrylics that they sell, scoring them for colour and clarity. A very good thing, we wish more suppliers would do this.

For $75 they’ll do you, 1 copy of Multiball Contact book and 4 2.75″ acrylic balls and with the 10% off sale at the moment, so actually $68.50 plus shipping. for another $14 those balls go up to 3″. That’s a bargain. In the uk, the price for those 4 balls and 1 book is over £95 that’s $190USD.

Neon Husky have got some second quality acrylics, either 70 mm or 2.75″ at $12 per ball that’s only $48 dollars for a set of 4 acrylics!. OMG thats cheap. Wooden balls are good for learning, but acrylics are better, and at this cheap price…

Dr Bob’s magic shop is having an acrylic ball and “acrylic resin blend” ball sale. I don’t know the quality, as I’ve never seen them, but there are some real bargain to be grabbed here. $8 for a 3 1/4″ acrylic resin ball, so what if it’s cloudy, its a great practice ball. thanks to Shane on CJ.org for the link.

One more Bargain- After a quick shopping expedition, MoM can report that Ikea supply a range of amazing ball bags, boxes and ball stands - for the CJer who needs to accessories with style.

Now, has anyone got any other special offers for CJ? please add them below.

I got to team up with one of my favorite jugglers, Jay Gilligan, for this one.. This is a a little over a decade ago, he went on to do so much more. We wrote the duet via videos through the mail (long before high speed internet) and performed it only once.

Jay is currently involved in the awesome Shoebox Tour
